Archaeologists Discover 1.2 Million-Year-Old 'Workshop' in Mind-Blowing Find

The discovery pushes the timeline of obsidian tool use back by an astonishing 500,000 years.

@JenWojcik
Which proves that there were capitalists 1.2 million years ago, because someone had to own the workshop, pay the workers, provide the napping stones & take all the profit.
@peterrelph2 @JenWojcik Nope. This is a scientific discovery, not a political one.
@mathew Mais oui
@peterrelph2 @mathew entonces, you're serving up weak irony

@peterrelph2 @resipiscent and that right there is why I infinitely prefer mastodon to birdsite.
